Personal Life
Waites was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire. He currently resides in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, with his partner Lucy. He has a son, Michael, with his ex-partner Sally. Sally was seriously ill during most of 2010, which was believed to have been a major factor in Waites's decision to continue playing in the BDO rather than turn professional and join the PDC.
Waites is not a full-time professional player and he earns his full-time living as a carpenter for the council-linked Pennine Housing 2000, Calderdale.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I am thankful to God for this approval of the people. But while deeply grateful for this mark of their confidence in me, if I know my heart, my gratitude is free from any taint of personal triumph. I do not impugn the motives of any one opposed to me. It is no pleasure to me to triumph over any one.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
